Hiring a guide is the first good decision you can make while planning a big mountain objective. Not only will you be led into the best zones and safely escorted up and down the smartest routes, but you also won’t have to worry about the trip’s logistics: they’ll often handle route planning, gear, and even meal prep. But not all guides are created equal. The best of the best are experienced, certified leaders and just plain rad people—folks who know how to avoid an avalanche and are great to hang out with for a long haul. Here are our picks for ten mountain masters who are all verifiably awesome.

Judd Lake, Alaska

Tone’s resume speaks for itself: the guide, based in Tahoe City, California, has been a ski patroller at Squaw Valley since 1995, a longtime avalanche-safety instructor and forecaster, and a heli-ski guide in Alaska. In other words, she knows her way around the backcountry and how to anticipate and respond to those worst-case scenarios. In 2015, Tone was part of the winning team on “Ultimate Survival Alaska,” a National Geographic Channel reality show where she had to make her way out of the bush with limited resources. When she’s not fishing or mountain biking, she’s guiding heli-skiers at Alaska’s Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, a six-room, two-cabin hideaway on Judd Lake that’s 40 minutes by floatplane from Anchorage, or leading trips with outfitter Ice Axe Expeditions to mountains in Iceland and Norway.

Bar Harbor, Maine

Owner of the Atlantic Climbing School, this Maine native has rock-climbed and guided on every continent (except Antarctica), from Yosemite’s El Capitan to Patagonia’s Fitz Roy. Certified by the American Mountain Guides Association, he’s also a trained EMT and a sailboat captain. A few years ago, Simon celebrated his 33rd birthday by hiking, swimming, and running across Maine’s 108-square-mile Mount Desert Island in 14 hours. If you’re planning a rock-climbing trip to Acadia National Park, known for sea-cliff climbing routes like Otter Cliff, Simon is your guy. He also recently started leading winter trips—ice climbing, mountaineering, and nordic skiing—in the area, too.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Workman knows the Tetons intimately, having led hundreds of guests up the Grand Teton (and for those brave enough, down it on skis) as a guide with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides. While he spends most of his year in Jackson, he’s found time to tick off a few bucket-list ski trips, from summiting Denali and guiding ski-mountaineering trips to the Antarctic Peninsula to ski-touring in the Westfjords of Iceland by sailboat. Join Workman on a heli-skiing tour in Alaska with Valdez Heli-Ski Guides or with the luxury travel company Eleven Experience on trips to Iceland, Japan, and Colorado. 

Adrian Ballinger

Squaw Valley, California

Founder and lead guide of Alpenglow Expeditions, Ballinger has racked up a few impressive titles: he was the first person to ski Manaslu, in Nepal, and the first American to ski two 8,000-meter peaks. As a guide, he’s made a name for himself by leading speed ascents of notable peaks like Everest and Aconcagua, but he also leads rock-climbing and backcountry ski trips closer to his home near Lake Tahoe. Ballinger was the one who got Squaw Valley to open its gates to guided backcountry skiing a few years ago, so you can book a day with him at Alpenglow Expeditions for a private tour of the resort’s sidecountry and beyond.

Nelson, British Columbia

Certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, Johnston works at Canadian Mountain Holidays, where he leads heli-skiing in the Selkirks, and at Valhalla Mountain Touring, just outside Nelson, where you’ve got to earn your turns. Johnston is also a registered acute-care nurse at Kootenay Lake Hospital—trust us, it’s always nice to have folks with additional medical training when you’re far from civilization. When he’s not guiding, he’s wielding a chainsaw to build mountain-bike trails for new ski terrain. If you go through Valhalla Mountain Touring, expect to find Johnston setting the skintrack for thousands of vertical feet of untouched powder a day. 

Will Elliott

The post The Mountain Guides to Call for Your Next Trip appeared first on American Survival Gear.

Rain drummed on my tarp shelter, occasionally splashing far enough under the opening to sizzle into the fire. Dinner warmed on that same fire as I fashioned a birch-bark moose call, sewing it into shape with paracord threaded through holes that I punched by the small screwdriver on my multi-tool. I was deep in the heart of remote interior Alaska moose country, float-hunting a remote creek for moose. One of the first items on my gear list for that adventure was a tarp to be used for shelter, meat care, and more. Here are 11 great ways to use a tarp in the outdoors:

1. Build A Lean-To Shelter

Lean-to shelters are quick to put up and provide good cover from the wind and rain. (Aram von Benedikt/)

One of the most common shelters worldwide is a lean-to. They’re easy to pitch; all you’ll need is a 10×12-foot or larger tarp, some cordage, and a rope or pole for the ridge. Just hang a pole or stretch a tightrope, throw your tarp over the top, pull the edges out and down until they’re tight, and keep them in place with rocks or stakes. You can set a lean-to shelter up in just minutes, toss your gear inside, and go fishing.

2. Collect Drinking Water

This photo was taken on location in brown bear camp on the Alaskan Peninsula. We collected all the drinking and washing water we needed with just this one catchment. You can do the same anywhere there is adequate rainfall. Simply spread a tarp across the tundra (or ground, if tundra is in scarce in your home woods). You’ll need a depression for the water to collect in, with the balance of the tarp sloping toward the depression. Weigh the edges down with rocks or sticks so the wind doesn’t blow your tarp catchment out of kilter.

3. Tarp A Horse Pack

Tarps work well to keep gear dry on long trips. (Aram von Benedikt/)

Horse packing trips—especially hunting trips—often encounter rain, snow, and bad weather. A small 4×6-foot tarp (or a larger one folded to that size) thrown over the loaded pack will keep most snow and rain off your gear. Just make sure to tie it down well so that the ends don’t flap, causing a ruckus, and letting moisture access your gear.

4. Make A Diamond Fly Shelter

When used correctly, a tarp can be a good, lightweight alternative to a tent. (Aram von Benedikt/)

One of my personal favorite tarp shelters is the Diamond Fly. It protects from wind and storm, allows a fire for cooking or heat, and is easy to set up. Just anchor one corner to the ground with a big rock or wooden stake, stretch the opposite corner high to a tree, and then pull out and anchor the other two corners to the ground so the tarp forms a diamond shape. Pile rocks on the two edges that rest on the ground so wind can’t get into your shelter. If it’s windy, pitch your diamond so that the first corner is pointed into the wind. That way the wind can’t get inside to try to blow your shelter away.

5. Keep Meat Off The Ground

Underneath the snow, this elk meat is laying on a tarp to keep it off of the ground. (Aram von Benedikt/)

You can’t see it in this photo because snow covered everything after we laid the meat out. But there is plastic under the meat, which is under the snow. If you’re in a hurry or don’t have anywhere to hang meat or quarters, you can simply spread a tarp on the ground and lay your meat atop that. You don’t want to leave it on the ground for days, but it’s a temporary quick fix that will keep your meat clean and out of the dirt. If you’re leaving the meat overnight toss some sweaty clothes or socks on the tarp to keep coyotes and other scavengers away till you get back.

6. Pitch A Kitchen Awning

Cooking under a tarp provides enough ventilation while keeping out the rain. (Aram von Benedikt/)

Unless you enjoy cooking in the rain, you can use a tarp to pitch a kitchen awning. It’ll keep cold mountain rain off the back of your neck and out of your vittles. Just reach or climb 8 to 10 feet off the ground and tie two tarp corners to trees, keeping the tarp edge between the corners taut. Then stretch the opposite edge of the tarp to more trees on the opposite side of your kitchen. Tie it a foot or two lower than the first edge so that rain can drain away. If you don’t have trees in the right places (they don’t usually grow in the perfect spot) you can cut poles from saplings, prop them under the corner, and anchor them with a guy cord stretched catty-corner from the tarp and anchored to another tree or a stake in the ground. Keep in mind that tarp awnings aren’t suitable for windy conditions.

7. Spread A Hide

Tarps work great as a work surface when preparing hides to be tanned. (Aram von Benedikt/)

Keeping your prized bear hide or elk cape dirt and debris free is critical to the quality of your finished product. Keep a tarp handy and spread it on the ground before laying your hide down to air out, for fleshing, or when spreading salt. It’ll provide a protective barrier preventing dirt, bugs, and moisture from crawling into your hide or cape.

8. Cover Your Tent

Use a tarp as an extra layer of protection for your tent. (Aram von Benedikt/)

If your tent will be exposed to very heavy rain or snow, or prolonged precipitation, you should stretch a tarp over it. The tarp will provide an extra layer of protection for your tent so that it can keep you dry and warm. Just try to stretch the tarp taut enough so that it will carry it’s own load rather than resting on the tent, and at an angle so that it will drain. If snow builds up on the tarp be sure to shake it off at regular intervals.

9. Meat Protection

Tarps allow meat to cool while keeping moisture out. (Aram von Benedikt/)

Wet, slimy meat is never a good thing. Keep a tarp handy, and if it looks like precipitation is in the offing, cover your meat or quarters with the tarp. Make sure it will keep the wet off your meat but still allow air to circulate. Be sure the tarp is secured so wind won’t blow it away or uncover your meat.

10. Keep Rain Off Your Hammock

In warm weather, a tarp and a hammock is a great way to quickly setup camp. (Aram von Benedikt/)

In hot or humid climates a hammock is a great place to get a good backcountry night’s sleep. But if rain is in the offing, you’ll need to pitch a tarp over your hammock to keep you dry. This Onyx UL tarp from Big Agnes is awesome, lightweight, and durable enough to handle windy, stormy conditions. Pitch it at an angle over your hammock to create a shelter long enough to keep your feet and head dry, and pull the sides down a bit so they’ll shed rain and provide a little protection from wind.

11. Make A Gear Shed

Pack a tarp along to keep your gear dry during an unexpected rainstorm. (Aram von Benedikt/)

A shed is easy to pitch and a great way to protect your valuable hunting gear. Just tie two corners of your tarp to trees above the height of your head, and stretch the opposite corners to the ground. Anchor with rocks or stakes, and toss your gear underneath. In windy conditions point the low edge into the prevailing wind so it doesn’t carry your tarp shed away.

How to Build Survival Shelters with Materials Around You Wilderness Survival Shelters

My first piece of advice on how to make a shelter from natural materials is to look around for something man-made.

In my last article, we talked about the use of a vehicle or vessel to keep us safe. But there are times when Mother Nature provides a hollow cave or natural covering.

This time around, I’m going to share some of the experiences I’ve had when Lady Luck is smiling down on someone else. There are times when we wish to build primitive shelters from scratch primarily with natural materials, but we aren’t always successful in foraging for these.

Unless you’re trained in thatching roofs, chances are your survival shelter is going to let water in when it rains. A plastic bag buried in your purse or pocket will go a long way towards providing a precious bit of waterproofing.

Building A Teepee

|

This lovely leaf teepee that we built in the Smoky Mountains looks to be the epitome of primitive shelter building yet hidden beneath its lush foliage is a trash bag covering the apex. Thankfully it didn’t rain but it was very comforting to know that if it did we would remain dry, even if it meant sitting upright and back to back.

As the weather turned out to be dry I sometimes wish we had lain down on the trash bag instead as were eaten alive by chiggers on this expedition. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

In my experience, bindings made from roots or vines are rarely as robust as commercially manufactured strings, ropes, and cords. You may think that you don’t have anything like that with you, but take a look at your clothes.

Your clothing is your first line of defense in any survival situation and not just in the most literal sense — what are you wearing that you could adapt and use?

A little trick that Myke taught me is to replace my boot laces with 550 paracords and wrap a few extra lengths round for good measure. It’s a pain in the backside if you ever have to travel through airport security but a lifesaver out in the bush.

Even if you don’t have 550 cord, your regular shoelaces will work wonders in tying the struts of your shelter together. As will fabric strips ripped from the bottom of a shirt or skirt.

A single string of 550 cord cinched together with the top of this teepee in the Smokies. Always be sure to retrieve your cord, natural or otherwise, when you move on.

|

Another useful tip, though glaringly obvious, is making sure your shelter is big enough for you to fit into.

A single person can crunch into a remarkably small place, albeit with some discomfort, but if you’re making a temporary home for more than one person or your whole family it’s a good idea to test it out size wise. As a mother, I’m always thinking things like, “Would my little boy cope with this?

Would this type of shelter work if he was with us?”

This is Myke and I testing our shelter for size. Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Building A Teepee Photo by Kotaksurat Using A Poncho For Shelter

|

One of my absolute favorite items of clothing because its multi-faceted nature is the military poncho, yet I had never even heard of one before I met my husband. These days I carry one in my car, my camping kit, my survival bag and we have several other littered around the house that our boy plays in.

In addition to keeping you dry, a poncho has many potential uses in a survival situation; a rucksack, a raft, a tarp, a medical stretcher, and a smokehouse, to name but a few. And they make quick and awesome survival shelters.

You can string one up in whatever manner you fancy or if you don’t have enough cord to construct a ‘tent’ just lay one over any primitive shelter that you have made to act as extra waterproofing.

Here in Alaska, we strung one between two trees and then I filled the open sides with large leaves to help keep the heat in. When using a poncho in wet climes be sure to tie off the hood so you don’t get leaks.

Conversely, when it’s scorching prop the hood open so it acts as a vent.

There, of course, might be times when you do have next to nothing on you or with you that you can use and you have to create a shelter from what you have around you. My least favorite is the debris shelter, but sometimes there is no choice.

For those who don’t know, a debris shelter is created by basically scraping up old branches and leaves and piling them into a rudimentary shield against the elements.

We used one once when we were caught in a sudden tropical storm in Dominica. Itchy, uncomfortable and wet.

Using old branches and logs has obvious risks, other things are also likely to be using them as a home – sometimes stinging insects and arachnids but I have also seen lethal poison dart frogs in old logs in the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. I also once sat on a fer de lance in a fallen tree in the Peruvian Amazon.

This snake kills more people in South America than any other. Not what you want as a bedfellow.

Building A Lean-to

|

Another basic shelter to make when you’re too exhausted to do anything else or perhaps when the light is fading is the ‘lean-to’. I was making this one on a Lost Survivors shoot for Travel Channel as the sun was going down in the Appalachians in Kentucky.

The main spine was an old tree trunk that had fallen and caught on another tree (not fallen to the ground) then I placed cut branches and leaves to form the back wall. It was another night on the forest floor, which is never ideal but the shelter is blocking a harsh wind that was kicking up.

On a separate trip to Kentucky, we wove a kind of cocoon out of river cane. We stuck either end of the canes into the ground to create a series of arches and then wove thinner more supple pieces of cane between the struts to make the walls.

You can use this technique with any kind of reed or wood that is pliable enough, willow for example.

Building A Lean-to Photo by Kotaksurat

In the close-up picture of me standing in front of it, you can see pretty flowers embedded in the walls. This wasn’t an attempt to create bucolic loveliness out in the wilds.

It’s an eye-saving mechanism, the cut cane was razor sharp and the flowers mark the dagger-like ends.

Ruth Englund Building A Lean-to Photo by Kotaksurat

It is without a doubt better to sleep up off the floor if you can. Even a layer of cut branches on the ground will insulate you from the cold.

Another very important reason to be up is so you don’t encounter creatures that could otherwise hurt or kill you. This is particularly true in tropical jungles and swamps.

My favorite shelter of all time was one at a beach in Aitutaki in the South Pacific. It was a platform protruding at one end from the top of some pandanus tree prop roots and supported at the other by tripods we made by lashing three sticks together.

The roof was a separate structure, a bit like a carport, crafted from palm leaves.

|

Building A Platform Shelter

Pandanus trees are great for shelter making, they look a little like palm trees but have these mangrove style prop roots. It’s the roots that are special, they are both sturdy and bendy.

We made the cross slats of the platform from these roots. Once they were covered in palm fronds, it was like sleeping in a bed.

They bounce a little when you lay down. Wonderful!

|

The mosquitoes in Aitutaki were bad, the noise was like the whirring of a cheap hairdryer. All night long.

However, the view in the morning made life a little easier to bear.

The first time I visited the Amazon rainforest we constructed a more elaborate version of the Aitutaki platform shelter. Unlike in our South Sea haven Amazonian land animals like to bite you, sting you and eat you.

Quick Tip: Bringing Fire Into Your Shelter

Getting off the ground is an essential, not a luxury.

Fire is also vital for protection in the deep jungle. Though our platform was too high to feed a fire without having to climb down, repeatedly, to the forest floor.

A problem exacerbated that we had our boots off at night to dry out our feet and prevent jungle rot.

Mike came up with the ingenious solution of having the fire in the shelter with us!

Quick Tip: Bringing Fire Into Your Shelter Photo by Kotaksurat

We built another mini wood platform on our sleeping platform. Afterward, we daubed a layer of thick clay on top of it to prevent the fire from burning through.

We had very few insect problems because it also acted as a smudge fire. A fair bit of the smoke was trapped in the shelter with us because of the roof.

We didn’t wake to the same amazing view as in Aitutaki. Thanks to our choice of shelter we made it through the night without becoming dinner for a jaguar.

Fire in the shelter Photo by Kotaksurat

Watch this video by J&J acres on how to build a teepee:

There is no blueprint for shelter building. Terrain and circumstance will dictate the final structure.

If I look back over the years and remember every single one that I’ve slept in, each one was different, each had its own set of quirks, foibles, discomforts, and itches. You rarely sleep well in a wilderness shelter but it’s always better to have one than not.
